The 59th Cannes Film Festival was held from 17 to 28 May 2006. Twenty films from eleven countries were in competition for the Palme d'Or. The President of the Official selection Jury was Wong Kar-wai, the first Chinese director to preside over the jury.[3]

English director Ken Loach won the Palme d'Or with his movie The Wind That Shakes the Barley.[4][5][6][7] This edition also marked the first time in three years that no American film, actor, actress, or filmmaker won any awards in Cannes.

The festival Opening Film was The Da Vinci Code, directed by Ron Howard.[8] Transylvania by Tony Gatlif was the Closing Film. Paris, je t'aime opened the Un Certain Regard section of the festival.[9]
